Team Vesco's "Little Giant" #444 was back on the Bonneville salt flats for the 72th annual Speed Week event. Crew member, Rick "Ricco" Kunze was first to take the wheel. His three successful runs achieved the goal of renewing his AA license. Rookie driver Calivn was next up and made three successful runs for his B license. Both drivers did an excellent job!
2021 Team Vesco will see "Little Giant" back on the salt with Johnny Vesco's model A engine with a Riley 4 port head by Greg Peek. Both car and engine were built by Johnny and debuted on the salt in 1957. Needless to say both car and engine have undergone major updates since then. Calvin hopes to drive again with his Grandpa's engine and set a record over 200 mph.
